When it comes to luxury beauty products, it’s not easy to know whether the price is down to top ingredients and a scientifically developed formula or just marketing hype.
But thanks to an independent health app called Yuka, which compares how clean each product is, we can see which so-called ‘clean’ beauty products are worth investing in before we part with our money.
One brand that passes the Yuka app test time and time again is Augustinus Bader, especially with its most popular product The Rich Cream.
Augustinus Bader skincare is loved by celebrities like Margot Robbie, Salma Hayek and Victoria Beckham for their scientifically backed results.
In clinical trials, crow’s feet wrinkles visibly reduced by 54% in only 4 weeks and skin feels 92% firmer in only 4 weeks.
Plus, in user trials, an impressive 91% agreed skin looks five years younger in just a month.

Used by celebrities including Jennifer Aniston, Charlize Theron and Victoria Beckham, the Augustinus Bader: The Rich Cream was found to have a perfect 100 percent clean beauty rating. This means it’s free from damaging chemicals, safe for sensitive skin and only contains ingredients that will boost your glow without side-effects.

Before and After photos posted by real customers in the reviews on the Augustinus Bader website are further evidence of how the clean ingredients can result in an improvement in skin’s plumpness and tone and reduce wrinkles in less than a week. It can also benefit skin that’s scarred or reduce hyperpigmentation.

If you suffer from acne scarring, shoppers say the Augustinus Bader: The Rich cream delivers unbeatably fast results on reducing scars
At $89.00 for 15ml or $175.00 for a 30ml tube, The Rich Cream is a significant beauty investment but the price is similar to other high end skincare products.
Dr Barbara Sturm, La Prarie and La Mer are also high value products but fared less well in their clean beauty ratings on the Yuka app.
The Yuka app showed La Praire contains some chemicals that aren’t fully clean while La Creme De La Mer contains Petrolatum, which is potentially hazardous
Both La Prairie and La Mer contained Petrolatum, which is not regulated by the FDA and could contain toxic chemicals.
Another 100% perfect score was achieved by the Augustinus Bader: The eye cream, with no hazardous or low risk ingredients found in the formula.
The Augustinus Bader: The Eye Cream is fully clean according to Yuka. In trials, this eye cream improved the feel of skin firmness by 165%
If you’re searching for the best of the best beauty products that have the ingredients needed to improve skin, the Yuka app is available for both Apple and Android phones in the app store or Google play store.
And if you want to stock up on truly clean skincare for less, you can save 20 per cent at Augustinus Bader if you subscribe to regular shipments.
